<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2375891, member: 19463"]Worst is a cast fake or a coin with 'Bondo' filling in the huge pit and tooled to restore detail. I don't think so and I would not touch it. In that price bracket, ten/twenty years from now the prevailing morality of the hobby may change to making this a 'beneficially restored' item with no questions. I'd have it slabbed before selling but you should not due to where you live. Would NGC see a problem? I say no.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
